Hello

It's possible that Windows XP doesn't come with built-in driver support for that particular sound card, and hence, you'll need to manually install the driver.

This is a common problem with laptops that are downgraded to Windows XP. Many of the people do not realise that Windows Vista comes built in with a number of drivers already installed, unlike Windows XP.
